Quote Sheet: Sunil Gulati Names Bob Bradley Interim Head Coach
Dec 8, 2006
On the Fox Sports story that Juergen Klinsmann walked away from a signed contract and whether there was ever a point where he thought that it was definitely going to happen:
"The first part is absolutely inaccurate. There has never been a signed contract. And I think it's safe to say that, during the process, without getting into specifics, yes. There were times in the process where I did feel that it would happen. There were certainly ups and downs in the process in any number of discussions and it's something we collectively tried to make happen. The other thing I should say is, the number of people that were involved in this process was very small. On the Federation side, people with an intimate knowledge of the discussions were two, and they're the two people that were on this call. So when I see quotes attributed to "Federation officials," and "an anonymous face says that it was about x, y or z," it's nonsense. It was Dan Flynn and myself that were involved in these discussions and so people are making things up. At least on our side of it it's just not possible because we haven't talked to anybody and those things are just not accurate. And I know the people on Juergen's side, and Juergen, and have known them for the better part of 20 years, so there certainly hasn't been a signed agreement. As I've said, we had a really terrific conversation yesterday and it wasn't a question about burning bridges. It was a question about there is a lot of respect in how this discussion went and an open door about working here, that doesn't mean coaching a team, necessarily. There certainly was never a signed agreement on either side."
On how the job description of U.S. National Team coach might be different for the Latin American or European model for a national team coach:
"I'm not sure that the definition is the same in two countries in Latin America or Europe, or frankly, that it's the same in the United States, the description that Bruce had or that Bora (Milutinovic) had, or what it would be for Bob or what another coach might have. I think there are two broad responsibilities. One is the preparation and development of the senior men's national team. That happens everywhere. The role that, for example, Gus Hiddink had in Australia and Korea was the preparation of that team for the World Cup. That's more similar to what Bora had for our Men's National Team for the World Cup in '94. The second role is the rest, the coaching programs, preparation of the other teams, the technical director role influencing the rest of the programs, whether it's just the men's side and the boy's side or the overall development of the game. That, one can only do if you're there for a long period of time involved in the youth programs and so on. That's certainly, when I talk about some knowledge of the American game, where it's more important that that's present, rather than the short term basis of preparing one team. In some of the South American cases, people are hired to do just the former, and in some of the European cases, it's the same. I don't think there's a parallel in either case. In the English case, what the job description that Sven Goran-Eriksson had is rather different than the job description that Gerard Houlier had in preparing the French team 10 years ago, when he was also essentially running the technical director side."
On whether that is the American model:
"In a number of places, it's the model. It's not just here. In different countries it's based on the skill set of the person. Clearly, in a place where the coach is coming in for a year or two, the coach is not going to be doing the technical director part of it when they're taking a job for one or two years in preparing a team. Certainly they're not going to be doing it while they're coaching a team in Holland on a club basis at the same time that they're coaching on a national team based in the Far East."
On how much of the coaching decision is due to the time crunch and how much is due to the perceived differences between himself and Klinsmann:
"Time crunch is certainly a part of the issue because we've got camp in less than a month and at some point you have to make a decision about whether you think everything will get resolved. Time does matter when it's December and we have camp in a month. I don't think the perception issue was an issue, frankly. I don't think Juergen and I perceived things differently at all. I think we were very much on the same page on all the things that mattered."
On whether there is less pressure to find a technical director with Bob Bradley on staff:
"My view on this is that a lot has happened in the last two days. We don't want to be making too many decisions on the last two days. The answer, in one part, and this is a discussion that we had with Bob, with Juergen and with the other people we talked to, about those two roles, the candidates and their skill set and what they wanted to do. In some cases, they said, 'Look, we'll take on that role,' or 'We need to have some influence in that but you should really get another person. Give them the title because they'll need that in order to have the credibility.' Or, in other cases, saying it's simply too big of a job in a country like the United States. So I think we'll take our time and see how these pieces fit. Once we get into this program and, in Bob's case with the Olympic responsibility under his wing as well, and with two programs in the next six months, I think we need to look at the functionality of that before we start making decisions about the technical director side of things."
On whether he's concerned that Gold Cup and Copa America preparations will be compromised:
"The answer is: maybe, maybe not. The important thing for us is to be prepared, not just for those tournaments but, obviously, this is a long program of three and a half years. The real judgments on the program come in November 2009 and as long as that's gone well, in our case it's actually come a month or two earlier in the last couple of World Cup cycles, and then in the summer of 2010. It's certainly my hope that we'll have some consistency throughout next summer, and whether that's Bob or Bob working side-by-side with someone else, however that works out. Like I've said, we have talked to some of the other people in the last 24 hours that are part of this process, told them exactly what we were doing and told them what the timetables were. It's not a question of whether they were comfortable with that or not, it's our decision. I think they were, without saying it, probably pleased, since they were interested in the position, that we hadn't made a decision which would preclude them. They know what the competition schedule is like over the summer. Is it ideal because they wouldn't have seen games? But on the other hand, since they're involved in club coaching rather than national team coaching, currently, which means their clubs don't generally play on international fixture dates, who knows? There are ways to see what's going on in the U.S. in the interim. Is it perfect? No. But we have ways of dealing with that in the short term and it's a great way to see the players that you're trying to test in those two competitions. The competitions are important, and obviously the Gold Cup in particular since it's our confederation championship, and Copa America is a high-level competition, but those are proving grounds, as well, for World Cup qualifying, which obviously is the critical component for us before the World Cup itself."
On how Bruce Arena and Bob Bradley are different as coaches:
"I think there are lots of people that are perceived as being in other people's shadows and maybe Bob has that reputation because he was Bruce's assistant. But I think anybody who has played for them and anybody that knows them knows that they are very different in many ways. Really, the players that have played for them are probably in the best position to tell you that. Where they coached, or that Bob was Bruce's assistant or that they may have been to similar schools, I don't think defines people. Though Bill Belichick may have worked with Bill Parcells, they are rather different people, and different coaches, differently styles and everything else and they have both been successful. That's their commonality. That's also Bruce's and Bob's commonality. I think you'll see when Bob is coaching our team, whether it's the Olympic team or the National Team, that they are very different. I think you'll see some of that when they are on the field or in the public domain.
"What I also said, and I want to go back to that, about the change in direction, and I said that back in July, was that the direction we have had for eight years is a positive one. So what I said was that maybe it was a newness we needed. We didn't become a bad team and Bruce didn't become a bad coach in five minutes because of a Jan Koller headball. We had a great eight years. We had a tough couple of games but that didn't undo a very successful period with Bruce. Bruce's track record speaks for itself: the summer of 2002, the Gold Cup successes and the progress of the team. That's the success that Bob has to match, frankly. It's pretty damn good and I don't think he'd shy away from saying, 'That's a pretty damn good track record.' That didn't all get undone in 10 minutes in the Czech Republic game or in the stripped ball off maybe the best player in the history of U.S. Soccer with the ball in our half when Claudio (Reyna) got dispossessed and injured on the same play. I don't want to re-live that anymore. I think the people who know Bruce and Bob know they're different. By that, I don't want to say, 'Bruce was unsuccessful, Bob will be successful,' because I don't view it that way. Bruce was extraordinarily successful and I think Bob has been and will continue to be."
On whether U.S. Soccer constituency deserves an explanation for his decision:
"Talking about individual reasons in the few minutes, I talked about timing being a key reason. The main reason that I wasn't going to talk about it is the comment that Juergen made about his privacy. No, I'm not going to give specific reasons. Juergen, yesterday (Dec. 7) announced that he was withdrawing from the process. We've spent a lot of time going through this and haven't been able to come to an agreement, so I'm not going to get into any specifics about that. But what I can tell you is that it's not any of the specifics that have been talked about. There are a lot of hurdles in trying to get an agreement and trying to get a working relationship done. We cleared many of them and weren't able to clear all of them, and at some point you run out of time and that's where we ended up."
On whether Klinsmann's withdrawal means that he has been completely eliminated from contention for the Men's National Team job:
"Juergen and I haven't talked about May, June, 2008, 2009, 2011 or anything else. He has withdrawn himself from the process and the conversation yesterday, which was a very general one, was that this was a very interesting process and very positive and it would be great to work together in the future. But there is no thought that, 'Hey, it didn't work out so now we have six months and lets talk again in May,' or, 'I really want to take a year off and do it in '08,' or anything like that. That's not the notion at all. There's a reason for the parallel structure. Bob has two sets of responsibilities, it's not just an interim basis for the National Team. We've got an important program in our Olympic team, which isn't an amateur team anymore. It's the Under-23 team, it's got overage players, and that's a program that, in and of itself, is a two-year job with China in August 2008."
On the role of the manager:
"I think it depends greatly on the skill set of the person you hire. Bruce had a certain skill set, Bob has a skill set that's different. Bora had a really unique skill set. It really depends on the skill set of the people that you've got and the needs at the given time. And that is time in two different contexts: one is historically, where we are in the development process, but probably more importantly, where you are in the short term cycle of a four-year cycle. In the first year, for someone in Bob's shoes, that knows the land in the United States, he probably has a little bit more time, ordinarily, to do the player development type things, the technical director role. I say ordinarily but in this case, where he was two teams, maybe a little bit less so. Once you start getting into World Cup qualifying, there's virtually no time to do any of that stuff. Obviously, when you're in the last year of the cycle, as long as you're in the qualifying period and preparing for the World Cup, there's virtually no time. The split between those two roles changes pretty dramatically during the course of the cycle. It did for Bruce and it certainly will for Bob, as for all of our coaches. In a different case, as I had mentioned about Bora, he had a very different focus and a very different charge, which was similar in a sense in Germany for Juergen, which was much focused on one team and the similarity was pretty straightforward. We were hosting the World Cup in '94 and Germany was hosting the World Cup (in 2006) and everything was focused on getting the team ready for the competition."
On whether there is a template for the development he would like to see:
"Certainly in the next three, four, five, six months, two teams: a senior team getting ready for those two competitions, starting to develop the group of players that is going to be important for us as we get into qualifying, and starting to develop the group of players that's going to be on the Under-23. That's the charge. The rest of what would normally be associated with the Technical Director role is not at the top of the list of what Bob has on his plate."
On how many of the candidates were American and how many were foreign:
"Most of them were international."
On whether he feels that, within this country, there is more pressure to stay with an American coach:
"No. It's a big country so you have different constituent groups. I think from the coaching community there is probably greater pressure. I think from the fan community there is probably a pressure to get an international coach or just the best coach, period, whatever that means. Just a win. I think that's where we are at this point. Our mission is to go out and get the best coach, whether that's an American coach, whether that's a foreign coach, whether that's a U.S.-based foreign coach, whatever that means. That has not been our guiding principle. We want to go out and be successful at the international level. So, get the best coach at the best time to lead the program."
On the role of the U.S. MNT head coach in regards to the Olympic team:
"A number of South American countries have had just the model where in some cases the senior team coach has coached the Olympic Team. In other cases, it's been the first assistant and the third model is where they've been essentially independent. If that were the case, it might just be the first assistant or it might be that during the competition the senior team coach has a hands-on approach. I think that would be flushed out over time."
On what he and Juergen were and were not able to agree on:
"We agreed on many, many things. He and I agreed on just about everything, but in the end you have to agree on everything, and we ran out of time to try to agree on anything. I really don't want to get into specifics. I want to respect (Juergen's) wishes of not getting into specifics on it."
On the discussions with candidates for the head coach position:
"We kept in touch with them. We mentioned that Bob is one of them, and he obviously had a pretty good idea of what was going on. In two of the other cases, we said we're ready to sit down and offer you a contract and they were not in position to say yes. They weren't in a position drop out because they are in jobs and so they weren't in a position to proceed further on a time bases. From their perspective, the best scenario would be something that took another five months to reach a conclusion. They didn't drop out, and including Bob, I've talked to four of the five candidates in the last 24 hours; Juergen, but obviously that was a different conversation, Bob, and two others in the last 24 hours and they remain interested. At this stage, we're not burdened with a need to do anything really quickly, and as far as things change between now and May or June or don't, we need to get a situation where we can start a training camp for two teams. It's a wide open landscape. I don't think we need to limit ourselves in any way."
On if the continued search will follow a similar pattern:
"For this one guy I was willing to go a long way. Could we go that deep again? Just by definition you can't because we are in a different time period. Are we feeling super pressure that we have to do it by May, the answer is no because the team is in good hands. We were under a different sort of pressure in December than we would be in May because on January 2 we want to start a training camp, we have to. January is a very important month for the U.S. National Team. It's a month off for domestic players. Every year we have a number of teams that get together in warm weather climates. It's not a period we can lose and obviously we have games scheduled. We were able to turn this around very, very quickly from a final conclusion with one coach, Juergen, and Bob. I'm not feeling super pressure. The national team is in good hands. The Olympic team is in good hands. We'll bring some people in around him to help manage those two programs."
On why Bob Bradley was given the Interim title:
"With everything that has happened in the last couple of days, we've got two teams that are important to us - the Olympic team and the Men's National Team. I guess I am not ready to (name the MNT head coach). It's not being disrespectful to Bob, we wouldn't have made this decision if we didn't think very, very highly of him and the company that he is in that very small group (of finalists). We said all along that we wanted someone who was highly experienced and capable of leading our national team through the next four years, and Bob's in that group. We've also talked to some internationally experienced coaches and we have engaged in a dialog that wouldn't have allowed them to start on January 1. We haven't followed up with them in the last 30-45 days the way we had with one particular candidate, and I think we need a chance to be able to do that."
If Bob Bradley will be given the same powers that Bruce Arena had:
"I am not at all concerned that Bruce had his fingers in too many areas, and I don't think anyone at U.S. Soccer is. It's extremely important that the person is most responsible for the success of our national team controlled the environment of our national team. In terms of the selection of staff and players, the sorts of games we play, and the environment, and where we train and play and stay, and who travels are in the purview of the coach. Bruce had control of those things; Bob will have control of those things. Bill Belichick has control of those things. That's only normal."
On waiting five months after the World Cup to make the decision:
"Let's be very clear what we sacrificed in terms of international dates. In the last two cycles we have played generally one game in the six months after the World Cup. Generally the U.S. team doesn't play in the six month basis for a pretty simple reason: European-based players are generally just starting their season, and MLS is in the middle of playoffs and the end of their season. We don't sacrifice very much. It's one game, and we're not going to miss a beat in terms of starting in January. We'll start January 2 or 3 with a coach in place. Was it worth it? The answer is yes. We tried to get Juergen Klinsmann and it didn't work out. We won't miss a date of training, we'll have a game on January 20 and we won't miss another international date."

Phenylalanine is an essential amino acid. This means it must be obtained through the diet in adequate quantities to meet the body's needs.
Phenylalanine serves in the body as a precursor to the catecholamine family of hormones. The catecholamines include adrenaline and noradrenaline, which are activating substances in the central and peripheral nervous systems as well as being produced by the adrenal medulla (adrenal gland).
Therapeutic doses of phenylalanine may have useful roles in management of blood pressure disorders and control of certain forms of depression. Both low blood pressure and elevated blood pressure have been normalized by administration of therapeutic doses of phenylalanine and tyrosine. Therapeutic doses used in humans range between 300 and 1,500mg per day. It is best to administer these amino acids along with a carbohydrate source in the diet to facilitate absorption into the nervous system. Contraindications of phenylalanine supplementation are in those who display a hyper-functioning nervous state (anxiety) that may be aggravated by adrenaline. Supplementation with phenylalanine in these people can actually amplify the problem. Phenylalanine is known to be the antagonist of tryptophan. Whereas tryptophan has been used to induce sleep, phenylalanine has been used to increase states of arousal. Phenylalanine supplementation should be discontinued if headaches result.
Recommended Dietary Allowances
The RDA for phenylalanine has been established as 112mg per day for women and 110mg per day for men.
Food Sources
Foods high in phenylalanine include:
Cottage cheese - dry 2,300 mg/cup Cottage cheese - creamed 1,647 mg/cup Fish and other seafoods 3,000-4,500 mg/lb. Meats 1,000-4,500 mg/lb. Poultry 2,000-4,500 mg/lb. Peanuts, roasted with skin 3,500 mg/cup Sesame seeds 3,000 mg/cup Dry, whole lentils 2,500 mg/cup
Method of Action
Phenylalanine can be converted to tyrosine by way of an enzyme called phenylalanine hydroxylase. Phenylalanine has been shown to be genetically impaired in some individuals, resulting in a disorder called phenylketonuria.
In these cases, a phenylalanine-restricted diet must be administered in infancy or mental retardation will result. The sweetener aspartame contains phenylalanine as part of its chemical makeup. Feeding this sweetener at high levels to individuals with the tendency toward phenylketonuria can aggravate their problem.

It's time to dial back the debate on whether Mike Shanahan should have pulled Robert Griffin III earlier in Sunday's playoff game and focus on the next important decision Shanahan will make: when to bring Griffin back.
Orthopedic surgeon James Andrews said after Tuesday's procedure that he expected Griffin to be back for the 2013 season. The most optimistic prediction has recovery taking six to eight months. Lesser optimism gives it nine to 12 months. The least optimistic, of course, is that Griffin will never play again.

Kerdi is good stuff, but like any typical shower drain, it is designed for 2". I'm not a pro, but I don't see any good reason why you'd need two drains with only two showerheads...people get buy with 4-5 or more with only one. I loaned my TDNA handbook to someone so I can't see if they require two because of the size of the room, not the quantity of the heads. Have you checked with the inspector? The plumber might be right on, or he could be blowing smoke.
Schluter talked about maybe making a trench drain, which might work for you. You might want to ask (I don't remember it in the catalog, but sometimes they have some things that aren't), but absolutely no guarantees.

UND Football Lands 17 Commitments for 2011University of North Dakota head football coach Chris Mussman announced today that 17 student-athletes have committed to play the 2011 football season.
By: Christy Kramer, UND Media Relations
GRAND FORKS, N.D. - University of North Dakota head football coach Chris Mussman announced today that 17 student-athletes have committed to play the 2011 football season and to further their education at UND. The announcement was made during the first official day of the 2011 NCAA Football National Letter of Intent signing period.
This year's commitment class is not only the third for coach Mussman, but the third for UND at the DI level.
"With this class, we have expanded our recruiting area," said Mussman. "As you can see, we pulled kids from all over the country and part of that has to do with the Big Sky Conference. We're getting a lot of positive feedback on that.
"We were looking for some overall depth at every position, but safeties and defensive backs were really a priority for us this year.
Overall, this is a very solid class. It took us three years to get here, but we're finally at that point where we'll have our full depth and we'll be where we need to be. It may not be not next year, but the following year in 2012. That's what this class sets us up for."
Ten different state are represented by this year's class with the largest number - seven - coming from Minnesota. Three commitments were received from California, and Colorado, Iowa, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Texas, Washington, and Wisconsin received one apiece.
"A lot of these are regional kids. The Twin Cities, Sartell, and St. Cloud are relatively close to where we are regionally. We've had a good stronghold in those areas. The Twin Cities have always been a positive recruiting area for us and we've had a few players from St. Cloud come and play for us over the years. It is one of those things were we start in our area first and then go outside."
This year's class was nearly even with 10 coming on the offensive and seven defensive players signed, but according to Mussman, the recruiting isn't done.
"We'll continue to recruit into the spring. We have some holes to fill yet and we feel as though we are addressing those. We have to make this team better and that's what we'll continue to do well into the spring."
Football recruits at the University of North Dakota:
Jer Garman, rb, 5-9, 170, Linn-Mar HS, Marion, Iowa

Diner Reviews
We find ourselves back at AltaMare
on a regular basis. More often than not, one of us gets the seafood terracotta. But, I really enjoy the wahoo -- not easy to find, but a wonderful alternative to Tuna, similar texture but white with a lighter taste."
Dined on 4/16/2014
This is a great find on Lincoln
Road. The food is great and if you eat indoors it is a quiet oasis amid the craziness on Lincoln Road. Plus the menu is varied and the meat is great."
Dined on 4/4/2014
Shocked they were known for
seafood. The mussels, oysters and clams didn't taste fresh. I had the terra cotta seafood pot and the broth was absolutely flavorless. Would never go there for food again. The service was very good."
Dined on 3/28/2014
Excellent menu, a lot of choice
but not a lot of fluff - everything looked great. Service was excellent and accommodating, would recommend to anyone."
Dined on 3/15/2014
I've ate at AltaMare several years
ago and had a god experience. This time was much different. Food was just ok- to poorly prepared. Our fresh mozzarella salad had no balsamic- which I thought was very odd. I had Brussels sprouts - which were served with a slightly warmed pancetta. Pancetta should be crisp! My red snapper was ok- but covered with an odd concoction red sauce. Did nothing for the flavor. Service, like everywhere in Miami, was poor.y"

Good food, mediterranen taste for
a fantastic fresh Golden Crab. Linguine cooked " al dente " as Italians do Good service Right the price."
Dined on 3/7/2014
This is a casual but elegant solid
restaurant. The atmosphere is sophisticated, not contrived, and the menu is interesting, authentic and changing. It is my "go to" place for an easy and dependably excellent dinner where I can actually speak with others at the table."
Dined on 3/4/2014
We ate outside on a Sunday night.
The noise level was low, but inside it was more energetic. The service was very friendly and attentive. One of the better margaritas in South Beach. My wife had the tilefish and loved every bite of it. I had a fish stew that was tomato based with a generous amount of shell fish in it. It was superb. This place is a bit off the beaten track in South Beach but definitely worth the visit. They have valet parking for which there is a charge, but given the dearth of parking places in SB, its a nice convenience,"
Dined on 2/22/2014
My companion tells me she often
sees the Latin celebrities when we are dining here. With the food, it comes as no surprise. They have great seafood, the service is excellent."
Dined on 2/21/2014
Grouper seviche outstanding. Ditto
passionfruit ginger martini; had to have two. Octopus with chorizo and farro superb. Husband had red deer tenderloin which was amazing as well. 4 leches dessert at the end was divine. Our fourth visit to Altamar. Consistenlty good. Owner is usually there, another good sign!"
Dined on 2/22/2014
I reviewed the menu online and
thought it had some interesting and unique dishes. When we arrived, we were seated immediately. Even though the restaurant was less than half full, the waiter kept rushing us. This was our 1st time there so we needed to review the menu, but he kept coming back to take our order. Everything was fast there from the time you were seated to receiving the check. I felt they just wanted to get you out if there. As for the food, the grouper fish cakes were served cold. The portions were small especially the skirt steak."
Dined on 2/20/2014
I am a South Beach local that
dines out very frequently. I was looking for a new menú to enjoy, and AltaMare did not disappoint! Unique seafood offerings had my tastebuds awake and almost had me in butterflies waiting 2 see what my server was going 2 put in front of me next. I gave up my table reservation 2 sit at AltaMare' s spacious bar. Thomas, our knowledgeable and attentive bartender, made excellent recommendation in food and then paired them perfectly with delicious wine and spirit."
Dined on 2/15/2014
We were there early on a week day;
found the service attentive and helpful. Had fish (well prepared and fresh). Good wine list. Will be back"
Dined on 2/17/2014
Valentine's night. We arrived at
9.15pm, time of our reservation. They offered us a table outside, and I think that was a great mistake. Once you're sitting outside, the details of a good restaurant dissolves. Too mucho noise, too much "south beach", but I repeat, no more class A service. 10 minutes after ordering drinks, I had to ask again for them. Tables so small that two plates and some bread definitely...don't fit. Octopus carpaccio...too much olive oil and too cold, so too many fluids in the plate (water and oil). Pan seared Hog was really good, and the risotto was good (not as good as the hog, but it was ok) Having said this, I think if there is a next time, definitely, I will try inside."
Dined on 2/14/2014
Great place, not many vegetarian
options ended up ordering a bunch of sides (sautéed mushrooms, oven baked cauliflower and steamed bok choy), none if which were worth mentioning. My date was happy w her Thai mussels and octopus. The wine was brought out and they didn't offer to taste it before pouring which was odd. Our server Daniel was outstanding. Eating outside was lovely and the place has a great energy, I recommend a visit but if you are vegan, vegetarian, gluten free or any other dietary restriction avoid."
Dined on 2/14/2014
We have been to this restaurant
many times, and we love it! We know the history of the owner since Coral Gables and we will follow him even if he opens others...."
Dined on 2/14/2014
Food was good. I had a pan-fried
red snapper that was very good. Waiter was beyond attentive. Seemed like he was rushing us at every turn."
Dined on 2/7/2014
We keep going back because it is
CONSISTENTLY wonderful....the food, the service, the ambience....and very accommodating for those of us who have to alter a dish a bit!"
Dined on 2/8/2014
My husband and I went friday
night, we live in sobe Got 3 apetizers, calamari carpaccio, grilled calamari and cobia cevice. Then we shared the palombo fish and we got a heavenly kind of dulce de lece. The food was very fresh, light and perfectly done, we got 2 bottle of champagne and had the best time. The italian waiter was very cool and attentive as well, always ready available and nice. Definetly ona if the best rest in south beach."
Dined on 2/7/2014
Consistent quality and service,
owner present, attentive staff. Always a wonderful experience."
Dined on 2/1/2014
Alta Mare was once a favorite spot
with excellent food and service. While the service remains good, the food has now dropped considerably. Our fish entrees were overlooked and of no distinction. The sides were similar to what one would expect in a cafeteria. Not sure what happened but Alta Mare is off the list for us. Too bad."
Dined on 2/1/2014
This restaurant sits just outside
the Lincoln Mall area. Outdoor seating is great. The best thing on the menu is the fried yellow tail snapper. This isn't your typical fried fish. It's very lightly floured. No batter. They serve the whole fish deep fried. It was crispy, piping hot and melt in your mouth good. Highly recommended."
Dined on 1/25/2014
Just down towards the end of
Lincoln Road Mall, so there is less traffic, but makes for good outdoor dining without a lot of passing crowd noise. Good variety of fish selection and wine selection too. The raw appetizer options were delicious as well as the desserts. Heaters out on a chilly night made it very comfortable."
Dined on 1/18/2014
Great place at great location just
off the LIncoln Rd mall. Lots to look at before or after dinner- build up appetite or walk off a full meal. My grouper was excellent and uniquely prepared. My friends were not as adventurous, but equally happy with non-fish meals."
Dined on 1/12/2014
we have been to Altamare 3 times
and is always the same, great food, variety and excellent service."
Dined on 1/11/2014
Seafood that was fresh and well
prepared. Good selection. Ate outside on a warm night in January. Very pleasant experience."
Dined on 1/10/2014
After the review of Alta Mare in
NYT, I guess I was expecting quality on the level of restaurants in SAn Francisco or NYC. Our family tried 4 different entrees and they were all okay but not as good as what we get here in Durham, NC! IN general, Miami Beach restaurants don't measure up (maybe downtown is a different story?). The prices, however, are equal to those in NYC or CHicago, with $38 entrees not at all unusual. I'm beginning to think that when in Miami Beach, I should aim lower and eat at low-cost ethnic dives, rather than elegant bistros like Alta Mare. The ropa de vieja I had in the airport cafeteria was pretty good!"
Dined on 12/31/2013
Yes, there were lots of couples
there and lots of glasses of fizzy, but we were there for an intimate dinner. All were accommodated. We had our intimate New Year's dinner -- no price fix, just a great selection of seafood with attentive services and a timely service from the kitchen. We even tasted a new variety of fish."
Dined on 12/31/2013
I found the AltaMare well situated
with a few parking options nearby. The staff were always well mannered and friendly, we encountered about 5 staff members from the moment we arrived to the time we left. The culinary standard was good to very good, but there were some simple mistakes before the first course delivery that could have been avoided if they put a little more thought into it...but in there defense, it was New Years Eve and quite busy. The prices were quite reasonable, especially for the overall experience, so I would definitely consider dining there again."
Dined on 12/31/2013
Presentation and flavor
outstanding on all fish we ordered. Even on Mew Year's Eve, service and food were both outstanding. Drinks were strong, not typical measured shots."
Dined on 12/31/2013
AltaMare has been a local
neighborhood gem for many years. The food is great. The service is super. This is a great restaurant away from the crowds of Lincoln Road."
Dined on 12/27/2013
For the busy xmas season there was
only one other table dining inside. Not in a busy locAtion of lincoln road. Food was good but nosocial acene at all."
Dined on 12/26/2013
wonderful fish dishes service is a
little slow, but everything is made to order, so its worth the wait"
Dined on 12/25/2013
Well prepared and well served time
and time agan over the years."
Dined on 12/24/2013
I live in South Beach, and
sometimes friends ask me where they should eat. If they enjoy seafood, I always send them to AltaMare. We go frequently, yet they often introduce us to new varieties of fish. The service is attentive, yet they know how to just leave a guest alone to enjoy a leisurely meal."
Dined on 12/23/2013
Altamare serves the freshest, most
carefully prepared fish in South Beach, complimented by superb pastas and a good, though not inexpensive, wine list. The service is invariably careful and experienced, and dining outside on the sidewalk is pleasant, not chaotic like Lincoln Road restaurants east of Alton. In colder or too hot weather, the indoor seating is attractive and comfortable, looking at an open kitchen. A great place."
Dined on 12/19/2013
the food was good and showed a
little imagination in the creation of the dish but in general prices on the items seemed to be at least 50% greater than equivalently or comparable type of restaurant. I won't go back!"
Dined on 12/19/2013
Very disappointing! New waitperson
(1st night). . .everything confused, incorrect. Mostly a new staff! Where was the owner?"
Dined on 12/5/2013
I have eaten here a number of
times in the past and the sea food has always been very fresh and well prepared which is still the case; however, every other item we ordered was over salted. We sent one salad back and the replacement was just as bad. You lost a customer"
Dined on 12/4/2013
One of the best seafood
restaurants in South Florida serving fresh local fish. Where else can you order roasted grouper throats or grilled cobia collars as an appetizer,,,both of which are unusual and delicious. If in the Lincoln Road Sobe area; do not miss."

GC Student WorkAt the UAB Genetic Counseling training program, students complete a Plan II graduate project. This is completed during our two year master degree program. As you can see, our students work in a variety of areas and contribute to the knowledge base of our field in many ways. These titles and abstracts are updated annually.

Class of 2012 student projects
• Potential Determinants of Anxiety After a Positive Maternal Serum Screen Result for Trisomy 21 *
This study aimed to investigate potential determinants of maternal anxiety following a positive screen result for Down syndrome. Studies have been conducted to identify contributing factors to maternal anxiety during the prenatal screening process, such as referral reason and disclosure methods. It was hypothesized those with more experience with the condition would have less anxiety concerning a positive result. Participants completed an anonymous questionnaire concerning demographics and familiarity with Down syndrome as well as the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, an anxiety measurement tool. Results indicate that those familiar with Down syndrome had a lower state anxiety than those who were unfamiliar with the condition (p = 0.0012). Other factors besides familiarity were assessed. Interestingly, participants who have other children had lower state anxiety on average. Further studies should confirm this data due to small sample size (n=47). A confirmed correlation would enable genetic counselors and others to anticipate patients that may be especially anxious regarding a positive result, and suggests an important role for education about the condition.
• Are health care professionals able and willing to incorporate direct-to-consumer genetic test results into patient care? * §
Direct-to-consumer (DTC) genetic testing is any genetic test that is ordered without the involvement of a health care professional. There has been much debate over the past few years on how this new technology is impacting consumers and how to address the challenges it creates. The purpose of this study was to explore the awareness and perceptions of health care professionals at the University of Alabama at Birmingham regarding DTC genetic testing. A total of 761 physicians with medical degrees (M.D.) were invited to complete an online survey that asked questions about three types of DTC test results (disease risk, carrier testing, and pharmacogenetic drug response). There were 122 responses that were used for the final analysis. Approximately two-thirds of respondents (68.9%) were aware of DTC genetic testing. Pharmacogenetic test results were the most likely to be considered clinically useful (48.3%), beneficial to patient care (43.9%), and incorporated into the patient's medical record (57%). Respondents reported that they were slightly more likely to be able to interpret carrier testing results compared to disease risk and pharmacogenetic test results. The majority of respondents who did not feel confident interpreting a particular test result said that they would refer the patient to another health care professional. This study gives insight into how DTC genetic testing is understood by physicians and integrated into the health care system. It will be important for future studies to investigate the real world application of how DTC genetic test results are affecting patient care.
• Genetic Counseling Protocol for Exome Sequencing: Explaining the Unforeseen *
Exome sequencing is an emerging genomic technology with great potential to improve genetic diagnosis, medical management, and expand overall knowledge of disease etiology. Use of genomic technologies is becoming mainstream in research and clinical practice given a steady decline in cost and improved detection rate. Clinical interpretation and utility of exome sequencing results brings unique challenges due to secondary or incidental findings, variants of uncertain significance and other limitations of this technology. In current literature, no published guidelines exist explaining the informed consent and genetic counseling process for exome sequencing. Numerous questions remain unanswered surrounding genomic testing and how this information should be presented to the patient. The objective of this study was to elicit feedback from experts in the field of genetics in reference to key elements of the informed consent prior to exome sequencing. A survey was designed targeting genetic counselors, MDs, and PhD geneticists familiar with exome sequencing. One hundred and seventy three participants completed the open response survey, from which three main focus areas were identified: patient and medical views on exome sequencing, unexpected results, and genetic information and disc1imination. This report of information gathered from experts in the field can aid in an effort to create a comprehensive standardized protocol for genetic counseling that can be used in a setting for exome sequencing.
• Characterizing the Unique Needs and Experiences of Adoptive Parents of Children with Cleft Lip and Palate *
Oral clefting is one of the most common birth defects worldwide, with an incidence of 1/500 to 1/700 births. Children with a cleft lip or palate face potential complications throughout their lives including issues with feeding, speech, and aesthetics. There are a significant number of internationally adopted children with clefting in the United States. There are numerous reports on the experiences of parents of children with cleft and, separately, of adoptive parents. However, to our knowledge no one has yet studied the combined experience of being an adoptive parent of a child with a cleft. Our pilot study, conducted through the Cleft Lip and Palate (CLP) Clinic at Children's Hospital of Alabama, seeks to characterize the experiences of adoptive parents of children with clefting. The survey used included demographic as well as open-ended "experiential" questions. Data reveal that the majority of participants' children were female, from China, had bilateral cleft lip and palate, and had no family history information available. A significant proportion of these children had additional health concerns and/or had been diagnosed with developmental delay. The experiential questions were analyzed for themes including knowledge about clefting, preparedness for raising a child with cleft, and challenges they have faced. Findings suggest that the majority of parents sought out a child with special medical needs and overall felt prepared for raising a child with cleft. Common reported challenges included speech difficulties and the need for additional surgeries, while the International Adoption Clinic and the staff of the CLP Clinic were reported as helpful resources.
• A Medical Needs Assessment of Individuals with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome*
Individuals living with the group of heritable connective tissue disorders known as Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) must cope with a variety of symptoms ranging from mild to debilitating, many of which require health care from providers that are unfamiliar with the condition. In order to identify areas of needs related to managing symptoms and obtaining adequate medical care, a needs assessment questionnaire was made available to individuals with all types of EDS in the United States and internationally. A total of 388 participants ages 19 and older with self-reported diagnoses of EDS completed a survey. Survey items were chosen to assess satisfaction levels in the categories of pain management, joint stabilization, interactions with health care providers, and access to health care. Results show that 42.4% (n=165) are having problems paying for the medical care they need; 78.6% (n=305) find that prescription medication helps relieve pain; 66.2% (n=257) of participants wished their doctor would take their complaints about pain more seriously; and 24.0% (n=93) are pleased with the resources they receive from their healthcare provider. Perceptions of healthcare provider knowledge varied by specialist type (p<0.0001). Our results show that many individuals with EDS require better informational resources, and more referrals to specialists who are knowledgeable and comfortable managing EDS.

• Neurofibromatosis Type 1 Patient User Manual*
Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is an autosomal dominant genetic disorder affecting 1 in 3000 individuals. NF1 manifests with tumor growth in the tissues surrounding nerves. High quality patient education materials can play an effective role in the self-management of a chronic condition. This is especially important for patients who are seeing multiple specialists and sometimes needs to serve as their own advocate for their rare condition. While there are already patient education materials on NF1, there is not one comprehensive product available that is written in patient-friendly language. Our goal was to create a comprehensive, patient-friendly 'user manual' for NF1 specific for the patients seen at the University of Alabama at Birmingham Neurofibromatosis Clinic. People who have been affected by NF1 took part in a discussion allowing input from the target audience to be incorporated into the production of the user manual. Data gathered from the discussion was grouped into themes, which was integrated into the manual. The user manual will be made available to patients with NF1 at the UAB NF clinic, and may serve as a template for other clinics.
• Contribution of Family History on the Incidence of Spina Bifida *§†
Spina bifida affects 1,500 newborns in the United States each year. The impact of family history on incidence of spina bifida has not been documented since before 1998 – when manufacturers began fortifying wheat products with folic acid. This study evaluates the current impact of family history on incidence of spina bifida, documents maternal exposures, and assesses how many parents have discussed genetics and spina bifida with a healthcare professional. It is hypothesized that there will be an equal contribution of maternal and paternal family history, that exposures will be similar to previous reports, and that parents of younger children will be more likely to have discussed genetics with a healthcare professional. This study recruited members of the Spina Bifida Association of Alabama and parents attending the Spina Bifida Clinic at Children's of Alabama. From September to December of 2012, 41.2% of recruited parents completed the online survey. Overall, 27.3% of families with one child affected with spina bifida had a positive family history of neural tube defects, with more paternal than maternal history reported. Sixty percent of families had discussed genetics and spina bifida with a healthcare professional. Mothers taking folic acid in the first trimester and anytime after conception were more likely to have a younger child with spina bifida. This study found a higher incidence of family history, particularly paternal family history, than what has previously been reported and is the first of its kind to document frequency of discussions of genetics and spina bifida with a healthcare professional.
• Patient Experience with Exome Sequencing*†
Dupuytren's disease is a rare, progressive disorder that affects the growth and proliferation of fibroblast cells and results in the shortening and thickening of the connective tissue in the hands and feet. While cases of familial Dupuytren's disease (which seems to follow autosomal dominant inheritance) exist, no single causative gene has been discovered. Exome sequencing is a relatively new test that is currently being used to identify novel genes that are responsible for diseases like Dupuytren's disease. To date, few studies have been published regarding patients' experiences with exome sequencing. It is anticipated that their experiences being involved in this type of testing may be unique due to the volume of data generated from the test and the potential for incidental findings. To further investigate this, fourteen individuals from a single family with Dupuytren's disease were enrolled in an exome sequencing project to identify a causative gene. All participants were interviewed about their experience with exome sequencing. This project included two phases: audio recording of the initial consent process and of a follow-up phone interview. The purpose of this project was to qualitatively analyze the patients' experiences with exome sequencing to enlighten future exome sequencing studies. It was hypothesized that the participants would be frustrated by the length of the informed consent session, concerned about the potential for incidental findings, and worried about issues related to the privacy of their genetic information. During the informed consent process, some patients did confirm concerns about incidental findings and genetic privacy. Additional unexpected themes also emerged. After the phone interview, patients' opinions about the length of the process were mixed. Despite not identifying a causative gene for Dupuytren's disease, participants were very pleased with their participation in the research project and described various motivations for their participation. It is our hope that information gained from these participants' experiences will be valuable for other potential participants, researchers, and medical professionals as they design their research studies and informed consent documents.
• How to Develop an Educational Tool on Hereditary Breast Cancer for Minorities*§
Women with hereditary breast cancer have a lifetime risk of up to 87% to develop breast cancer. Education is essential for women to be aware of the risk factors and appropriate screening guidelines for hereditary breast cancer. However, traditional forms of education fail to resonate with the African American community. This study aimed to discover an effective educational strategy to disseminate hereditary breast cancer information to the African American community. Two separate focus groups were conducted with organizations that have prior experience in health education amongst the African American population. One group completed a survey about effective ways to educate the African American community. The focus groups and surveys were analyzed and categorized to reveal frequent recommendations or themes. Participants stated that hereditary breast cancer education is lacking in the African American community. Recommendations for effective education included using personal interactions and interactive activities. Education conducted through a source that is trusted and established in the community was another theme. Partnering with current educational programs was a common suggestion for the purpose of integrating hereditary breast cancer information into current program agendas. Importance was also placed on formulating a simple, clear message that could be adapted to existing forms of breast cancer education for minorities. In order to effectively disseminate hereditary breast cancer information to the African American community, educators should use a personal, interactive approach that conveys a simple message through established community groups and programs. Effective education dissemination has the potential to increase hereditary breast cancer detection in the African American community, which could lead to earlier detection and prevention of cancer.
• Metabolic Computer-Based Tutorial for Healthcare Professionals*
Inherited metabolic diseases are individually rare, but together represent a common class of disorders. They have life-threatening consequences if not diagnosed and treated in a timely manner. Newborn screening is a public health initiative aimed at identifying newborns with inherited metabolic disease early in life; however, symptoms can still present before these results are available. Educating healthcare professionals about metabolic conditions can help prevent sequelae from mismanaged or misdiagnosed events. Medical continuing education can be challenging due to hectic schedules and long hours. Computer and web-based methods are helpful as users can learn in any setting and at any pace. A computer-based tutorial was created for healthcare professionals to learn about the presentation, testing, diagnosis, treatment, and management of individuals with metabolic disease and included 10 case presentations. A pre and post tutorial quiz to assess knowledge was completed by 11 individuals, first and second year genetic counseling students. First year students demonstrated a change from pre to post tutorial scores of 1.7 points. Second year students demonstrated a change of 1.3 points. These differences between pre and post tutorial scores for both classes were statistically significant (p=0.013). The average post score was higher than the pre score for both groups. Additional changes can be made to improve the tutorial including expansion of cases and involving more participants from varied healthcare backgrounds. A computer-based tutorial can increase knowledge of inherited metabolic conditions for healthcare professionals. In the future, this tutorial could be used for continuing education in multiple groups.
• Vitamin D Receptor Polymorphisms and Non-Melanoma Skin Cancer Risks in an Alabama Population*
The American Cancer Society's (2012) most recent statistics for non-melanoma skin cancer estimates 3.5 million cases. Gene changes may make an individual more susceptible to isolated non-melanoma skin cancer [which includes basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC)]. One of those genes is the vitamin D receptor (VDR). Polymorphisms in the VDR genes are thought to contribute to the level of protection an individual may have against certain types of skin cancer (Denzer, Vogt, & Reichrath, 2011). Few studies have been published about VDR gene polymorphisms and the associated risk for BCCs and/or SCCs (Han, Colditz, & Hunter, 2007; Kostner et al, 2012; Lesiak et al, 2011). The purpose of this study was to discover whether certain VDR gene polymorphisms, Apa1, Bsm1, Taq1, and Fok1, are associated with an increased risk of BCCs and/or SCCs in an Alabama population. Forty-one participants were recruited at the UAB Dermatology Clinics, filled out a questionnaire, and submitted a blood sample. The genotyping results, cancer diagnosis, and demographics were analyzed to detect relationships. The results demonstrated that there was not a statistically increased risk for SCCs or BCCs based on the type of VDR genotype for Taq1. Of note, even with such initial small numbers for our study, our numbers did approach significance (p=0.0671). In comparing our first genotypic results to the literature, the Taq1 results were inconsistent. Two previous studies, Lesiak et al. (2011) and Kostner et al. (2012), revealed an increased risk for BCC for those with certain Taq1 genotypes. While our study did not, there was a trend toward significance. Our finding with this first genotype is encouraging and prompted us to extend enrollment. If we group the non-melanoma skin cancers together (BCC and SCC), the difference of genotype compared to controls is significantly different (p=0.0257). From this study, further analysis and research was supported at UAB. Also of note, a statistically significant finding for one of the confounding demographic factors we included showed that the use of sunscreen among the participants with SCCs was related to their genotype. For those with SCCs, those that "always" wore sunscreen were most likely to be those with the CC Taq1 genotype. With this exception, there were no other relationships found among cancer diagnosis, genotypes for Taq1, and demographic factors.

Giant insects ruled the prehistoric skies during periods when Earth's atmosphere was rich in oxygen. They reached their biggest sizes about 300 million years ago during the late Carboniferous and early Permian periods. This was the reign of the predatory griffinflies, giant dragonfly-like insects with wingspans of up to 28 inches (70 cm).
The leading theory attributes their large size to high oxygen concentrations in the atmosphere – over 30 percent compared to 21 percent today – which allowed giant insects to get enough oxygen through the tiny breathing tubes that insects use instead of lungs.
The scientists compiled a huge dataset of wing lengths from published records of fossil insects, then analyzed insect size in relation to oxygen levels over hundreds of millions of years of insect evolution. Their findings appear in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
"Maximum insect size does track oxygen surprisingly well as it goes up and down for about 200 million years," said lead author Dr Matthew Clapham, an assistant professor of Earth and planetary sciences at the University of California. "Then right around the end of the Jurassic and beginning of the Cretaceous period, about 150 million years ago, all of a sudden oxygen goes up but insect size goes down. And this coincides really strikingly with the evolution of birds."
With predatory birds on the wing, the need for maneuverability became a driving force in the evolution of flying insects, favoring smaller body size.

AUSTIN -- Like most big Austin events, it started with live music. However, the Easter service at the Erwin Events Center set itself apart with the message.
"By the time they leave today, they'll know that it was God who drew their hearts to come," said Dr. Devin Garza, an elder at Austin Stone.
Garza is one of a thousand church volunteers who spent their Sunday giving back to the Austin community.
"We call ourselves a church for the city, not just a church in the city," said Garza.
"It's an honor, and a gift to be able to serve in this capacity," volunteer George Washington III told KVUE News.
As visitors made their way into the Erwin Center Sunday, they were also reminded that Easter service is about giving back.
"We're asking everybody who comes, or knew they were coming, to bring a gift certificate for the families that are helping to take care of those kids that are in foster care," Garza said.
Austin Stone hopes to raise $100,000 in gift cards for local foster families.

Deadheading is the term used for the removal of flowers from plants when they are fading or dead. It is done to keep plants looking attractive and encourage more blooms, whether in beds and border, containers or hanging baskets.
Container maintenanceFlower ballingHanging basket carePerennials: cutting backPerennials: dividingPerennials: stakingRHS video: dead heading for more flowersSweet Pea Society
Most flowers lose their attraction as they fade, spoiling the overall appearance of beds, borders and containers, and are best removed. However, there are other reasons:
Remove the spent flowers as soon as they look scruffy. In practice, gardeners usually have to remove them as soon as they can and, thankfully, a few days delay won't make a difference.
The simplest method is to just pinch off the faded blooms with finger and thumb. Aim to remove the flower with its stalk to ensure the plant looks tidy.
To deadhead plants with tough or stringy stems, use secateurs, scissors or a knife. This includes dahlias, calendulas, marigolds and shrubs such as lilac.

Cave bear (Ursus spelaeus)
Watercolour, Rembrandt-Talens
I did this one, 2 years ago, for an educational board for Bijambare reserve, which has 7 caves. It was an EC financed Project led by my(humbe)self. We did tourist paths within the longest cave (420 m), illumination, toilets, parking, Info-house, promo-materials, Info-boards, brochures, film, radio jingle, etc. We used photographs and technical drawings for everiting else, but there were no photos of the cave bear, and available illustrations were copyrighted, so I did it myself.
Not so long ago (in geological terms) such bears used to live there…

In 2011, I launched the Pagan Pathfinders' Podcast, which got some attention at places like the Wild Hunt Blog and the Canadian National Pagan Conference. My vision was one of a panel of knowledgeable Pagans of various traditions and locations, discussing a topic online as panelists do at conferences. As I say in the preview video, people were really quite accommodating and friendly and open to the possibilities.
I stopped doing the podcast in early 2012 for a variety of reasons; though I did try to limp it along for a while. One was that getting a bunch of very busy people together in one place is problematic at best. Two was that the limitations of Skype made the conversations awkward. Three was that the constant bad sound and limited connectivity created a variety of issues that took days of editing to try to fix. Four was those days of editing. I tried bringing on a partner to help me, but Nisaba Merrieweather, although filled with enthusiasm and a desire to help, who managed to organize a great show on Australian Paganism, had no better luck with the technology than I did. Eventually I resigned myself to just letting it go....
I'd be interested in participating. I'm the managing non fiction editor for Immanion press and author as well.

To help everyone understand how the electronic version can be obtained just follow these steps:
Turn to the very last page of your most recent version of the news.
Above the text that reads "10-10 QSO PARTY..." in large print is a line. Above this line is the web address and log-in information.
The login information changes with each edition for obvious reasons, only paid members have access to the NEWS online (including Life Members).
I have had two separate requests for information about why the NEWS is not being sent direct so I will address the logistics of this issue.
- 1. The task of keeping up with everyone's email addresses would be too large a task, just ask any certificate manager.
2. The problem of what to do when the recipient's email box is full or otherwise unavailable. There's no way to insure that the NEWS was received by all parties.
3. Last but not least. SPAM deterrent procedures at the hosting company would prevent the mass emailing of several thousand copies of the file which measures in at around 3meg per copy. Multiply this by a possible 5,000 copies and you are looking at a possible 15,000,000,000 in traffic and NO web hosting company will settle for that. That was the reason the download information has always been posted on the last page of the NEWS.
I don't mind the questions about the electronic edition but wanted to save you the embarrassment of finding the information was 'hidden in plain sight."
